Exciting news! Friday’s will now be dedicated to “Friday Fives,” which will incorporate lists from products to foods to life in general.

It took me a while to get the creative juices flowing again. As you can probably tell with my one-post-a-week situation lately, I’m haven’t exactly been on my game. Work (as always) has been super busy and, frankly, I just haven’t felt very inspired. It’s like I had all these ideas in my mind for weeks, wrote them down, and then when I went to start writing my brain just shut off. Maybe it’s stress, maybe it’s lack of sleep, maybe it’s just a slump. Whatever it is, it needs to leave me alone and let me live my life lol

It hasn’t been just hard to find inspiration, though, the universe never really gives it to you that easy. Along with the stress and lack of sleep (and if we’re being honest…NOT the healthiest diet lately) has come breakouts. I grew up with horrible acne and still get it from time to time.

Ohh yes. The time has finally come, yall. After the long awaited reveal of these coveted Kimmy K nudes (not that kind of nudes from her this time 😉 ), these babies are finally in my hands. If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that I spent last weekend in Arizona. I arrived back to my apartment Monday night to find that little black box waiting for me. I just love coming home to packages, it’s seriously like Christmas and I couldn’t wait to get these open. Of course, a picture was posted all over social media before I even took them out of the box (duh), but then next came my next dilemma– that 108 dry heat from the weekend DESTROYED my lips. I tried putting them on, but I can’t even tell you how awful it looked…you don’t wanna know.

I’ve been putting on my favorite salve every morning and night and we’re finally back to normal and ready to give a full review!

Please be aware that these opinions are from my personal experience and will differ from person to person. One may love it, one may hate it, that’s just how the cookie crumbles.

Florals?
For Spring?

….Groundbreaking.

Every year when the weather starts getting warmer outside, this quote immediately pops into my mind. Gosh, what a classic movie-I’m going to use this time to store that reminder in my brain to watch it this weekend. Just like The Devil Wears Prada and the quote itself, floral prints really never get old. It’s a timeless print that anyone can pull off at just about any time of the year depending on how you style it.

Let’s break down the typical seasonal color schemes:

Spring: pastel

Summer: brights

Fall: earthy

Winter: cool

My style this time of year typically goes between Spring and Summer: light and bright (besides my obsession with black that’s really just year around). What’s funny about florals though is that it’s like I see it EVERYWHERE but then when I go shopping with that in mind, I can’t find anything I like..or anything at all. Anyone else have that problem? Same thing with the pom-pom fad that’s going on right now–I can never actually find it anywhere in stores, just online.

Below I have a series of clothing, shoes, accessories, and some misc. items that you can buy online and not have to worry about running from store to store searching for the best florals. My hope is that there are enough options that everyone will find at least one thing they like. I also tried to keep everything under $100, but come on just look at those bathing suits…can you blame me?? 🙂

This is always one of my favorite and least favorite days of the week. For whatever reason, Sunday is typically one of my most product days. It’s the one time I become so motivated to clean, do laundry, meal prep, write, and plan for the coming week leaving me feel super accomplished and allowing myself to have a well-deserved brunch and netflix marathon.

…And then the blues hit. I don’t know why, but it’s like I always forget it’s Sunday; I just completely block it out of my mind. The weekend flies by and I’ve done so much and then I look at the clock at 8pm and realize I have to go into the office tomorrow…ugh. I love my job and truly enjoy being with my coworkers, but there’s just something about getting yourself mentally prepared for that 7am wakeup call that makes you feel slightly apprehensive.

So let’s fix that. My wallet might definitely hates me for it, but online shopping sure does make my day better. I love receiving packages in the mail. If you’re anything like me, I don’t online shop that often but if I order one thing I just go on a rampage and place 6 more orders and it ends up being like Christmas at my doorstep not remembering what it is until you open the box. A present to yourself, what could be better! 🙂

Below are 6 new closet loves specifically designed for your Sunday Blues. Follow the links down below and get to it. Happy shopping!

With social media seemingly taking over the world, it’s no surprise when people become what we like to call “internet famous” or “going viral” over a simple video. It’s this era’s “15 minutes a fame.” One moment, they’re damning Daniel, the next they’re on Ellen. I’m not going to lie, at first this whole phenomenon really rubbed me the wrong way. Nowadays, I’m *kinda* okay with it. Maybe I’m just used to it, or maybe I’m just accepting that this is the new norm. The only thing that still lands a spot on my pet peeve list, though, is when it’s so obvious that they are *trying* to be “internet famous” rather than just sharing a funny moment with their family and friends on Facebook and next thing they know they have 4.7 million views from strangers across the WWW.

One of the videos I see all the time and frankly never get tired of are the ones of parents giving their babies lemons for the first time. All the CONTINUE READING
